The lack of veterinary care in many Indigenous communities contributes to canine overpopulation. Additionally, the endemic presence of rabies in certain regions makes sterilization and vaccination clinics crucial. These interventions are primarily driven by needs identified by local decision-makers and community stakeholders. As such, our program is voluntary, respecting the needs, customs, and values of each community we visit. Their invaluable collaboration and active involvement are key to the success of our mission.

These treatments effectively control the canine population and significantly reduce the risks of fights and injuries within communities. They also offer a second chance to vulnerable dogs, often exposed to extreme conditions such as cold, hunger, or mass culling. 

 

To ensure lasting positive effects, it is vital to conduct these clinics regularly. Sterilization is the only sustainable and ethical solution. Additionally, rabies vaccination is critical in endemic regions, where children are particularly at risk.
